THE PROFESSOR’S DILEMMA
Slowly Ned, Bob and Jerry returned to their rooms. They did not speak for a moment, but sat down and looked at one another. Then Ned burst out with:
“Well, what do you know about that?”
“I hope all the fellows at Boxwood won’t be like those in there,” added Bob.
“I can’t understand it,” remarked Jerry. “We didn’t do or say anything out of the way; did we?”
“I can’t see how we did,” returned Ned. “I guess they’re plain snobs, that’s all, and the less we have to do with them the better.”
“They don’t seem to want us to have anything to do with them,” came from Bob.
“The idea of not even opening the door,” went on Jerry. “I should think the older students ought to make the new ones feel at home.”
